fbt - DTrace function boundary tracing provider
DESCRIPTION
The fbt driver is a DTrace dynamic tracing provider that performs dynamic instrumentation at function boundaries in the Solaris kernel.
The function is the fundamental unit of program text. In a well-designed system, the function performs a discrete and well-defined opera-
tion on a specified object or series of like objects. Most functions are implemented by themselves calling functions on encapsulated
objects, but some functions --so-called "leaf functions" -- are implemented without making further function calls. The Function Boundary
Tracing fbt provider contains a mechanism for instrumenting the vast majority of functions in the kernel and offering the instrumentation
as a set of DTrace probes.
The fbt driver is not a public interface and you access the instrumentation offered by this provider through DTrace. Refer to the Solaris
Dynamic Tracing Guide for a description of the public documented interfaces available for the DTrace facility and the probes offered by the
fbt provider.

systrace - DTrace system call tracing provider
DESCRIPTION
The systrace driver implements the DTrace syscall dynamic tracing provider. The syscall provider performs dynamic instrumentation to offer
probes that fire whenever a thread enters or returns from a kernel system call entry point.
The systrace driver is not a public interface and you access the instrumentation offered by this provider through DTrace. Refer to the
Solaris Dynamic Tracing Guide for a description of the public documented interfaces available for the DTrace facility and the probes
offered by the syscall provider.

Hello all!
Is there a way or a utility to trace any kind of file changes in a particular directory on any UNIX machine?
The purpose is that in Unix, there are multiple ways of opening and making changes to a file. But internally, there must be something common (a single pipe, etc.) that is... (3 Replies)
